Anyone have a good source for stranded SPC wire that is flexible, clear sleeving would be good but black or white will do.
I have tried the stuff from Navships on eBay and they are just too stiff and TWspc is a little expensive.

7509HD recable.  I tried using the very soft orange paracord that I have underneath, but the result is not as quiet as I expected.  Well, at least it is very soft.
 
 
 

That looks really good.

If you need more than 5 foot lengths, Test Path is your friend.

edit - sorry, didn't notice the silver plated requirement... test path may still have though - they are a good source.

I proudly present my first ever cable!

I'm sure thats crazy microphonic. You should try Paracord next time. Great looking stand. hahaha.

Superlux HD 681 mod, braided John's Silver wire, Palics 3.5mm plug and AKG velour pads. Not a big improvement in SQ, wire is pretty sensitive to microphonics, it's my first headphone recabling, will do better next time with some filter and Mogami cable.

That looks pretty good! Shame about it being too microphonic for you. 

 

[zest]

Thanks ! Forgot to say I replaced the red plastic rings with copper gaskets.
While listening, I can clearly hear any rubbing on clothes and I'm usually not very sensitive to microphonics, that's why I ordered some Mogami 2893 cable in red.

You could also see about putting a nylon monofilament or cotton sheath on the bottom braid - and see if that helps.

In need of some pure silver, anyone know a supplier where I could grab some off? 
 
(Might not be the best place to ask for such a request but it's the only thread that is constantly active with people on knowledge with recabling and DIY cable jobs.

Both offer cryo. Idk how pure their silver is. I'd double check to make sure they are putting out 99.9999% If you can get a lab to test it, let us all know. You can also hit up jewlers and buy teflon tubing or heat shrink PVC on to it.

Wish Parrots was here to input with some pure silver recommendations that guy is re-cabling freak (in a good way

). I've been looking at some 26awg solid core pure silver lately but not sure if single solid cores are good for DIY recabling as once with clear teflon tubing set in place gets bit stiff and microphonic not to mention another layer of braiding. See a lot of pure silver wire on ebay for Jewelry purposes but unsure if they are suitable for this kind of job, not to mention they are much softer and cheaper then actual pure silver cable for audio purposes.
